Make world2pix and pix2worled more flexible, add tests

Currently, world2pix fails if the coordinates are passed as an
astropy.Column:
```
>>> from aplpy.tests.helpers import generate_wcs
>>> header_dir = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(aplpy.tests.helpers.__file__)), 'data/2d_fits')
>>> REFERENCE = os.path.join(header_dir, '1904-66_TAN.hdr')
>>> wcs = generate_wcs(REFERENCE)
>>> f = aplpy.FITSFigure(wcs)
>>> tab = Table({'RA':[347.,349.], 'DEC':[-68.,-68]})
>>> f.show_markers(tab['RA'], tab['DEC'])
ERROR: Exception: world2pix should be provided either with two scalars, two lists, or two numpy arrays [aplpy.wcs_util]

This pull request solves that issue.
use isinstance instead of duck-typing

This follows @astrofrog 's suggestion in the comments. Might be safer here.
The implementation can eben be a little shorter, since `np.ma.array`
and `np.rec.array` also subclass from `np.ndarray`.
Just s before, this passes the tests locally, so we'll need to see
what Travis says.
add aditional tests for wcs_utils
added normalization documentation showing the definitions of vmid etc
doc fixes per @astrofrog's recommendations
clarification and rewording
added power,sqrt to list at top
Check which exception is returned in tests, modify tests
Merge pull request #114 from hamogu/acceptastropy

Make world2pix and pix2worled more flexible, add tests
added another detail for a->m conversion
Merge pull request #117 from keflavich/normalize_docs

Added documentation for the normalizations
Improvements to normalization docs
Added sliders in an external window
updated widget docstring
fixed indentation error; no idea how this one crept in but it is silly.
try/except around the backend-specific window labeling
resized slider bars
renamed slider commands
new work on sliders: adding text boxes to change slider extents (work in
progress!!!)
added test sliders
widgets update!  now there's a text box associated with the sliders
minor bugfix to previous!!!
